For all man are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall -1Peter 1:24

Bittersweet Symphony (acoustic)



Lyrics
Cos' it's a bittersweet symphony this life...
Trying to make ends meet , you're a slave to the money then you die.
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down...
You know the one that takes you to the places where all the pain lives ,
yeah.

No change, I can change, I can change, I can change,
but I'm here in my mould , I am here in my mould.
But I'm a million different people from one day to the next...
I can't change my mould , no,no,no,no,no,no,no

Well I never pray,
But tonight I'm on my knees, yeah.
I need to hear some sounds that recognise the pain in me, yeah.
I let the melody shine, let it cleanze my mind , I feel free now.
But the airwaves are clean and there's nobody singing to me now.

No change, I can change, I can change, I can change,
but I'm here in my mould , I am here in my mould.
And I'm a million different people from one day to the next
I can't change my mould, no,no,no,no,no,no,no

(Well have you ever been down?)
(I can change, I can change...)

Cos' it's a bittersweet symphony this life.
Trying to make ends meet, trying to find some money then you die.
You know I can change, I can change, I can change,
but I'm here in my mould, I am here in my mould.
And I'm a million different people from one day to the next.
I can't change my mould, no,no,no,no,no,no,no

(I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down)
(I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down)
(It justs sex and violence melody and silence)
(Been down)
(Ever been down)
(Ever been down)

The feline's choice

A man saw a cat in the pound, it was playful and got along well with the other animals. He liked it and took it home. Took it away from all it's companions.

He knows that everything he does is for it's own good.

He was proud of it and often displayed it to his friends.

It was the 1st year and the man went traveling.
The cat was lonely and made friends with a stray pig.
The man returned and became angry that HIS cat has paid attention to anything other than himself. "Why can't you just sit there and wait for my return, I was only away for 11months"
He killed the stray pig. It was for it's own good.
The cat was deeply hurt but kept quiet because it cared about it's owner's feelings.

It was the 2nd year and the man went traveling.
The cat was lonely and made friends with a stray dog.
The man returned and became angry that HIS cat has paid attention to anything other than himself. "Why can't you just sit there and wait for my return, I was only away for 11months"
He killed the stray dog. It was for it's own good.
The cat was deeply hurt but kept quiet because it cared about it's owner's feelings.

It was the final year and the man went traveling.
The cat was lonely and stared at the door awaiting his return.
The man returned and became angry. He didn't believe it had sat there quietly waiting for him "It must be hiding something! And I was only away for 11months"
He locked the door so that it couldn't run away. It was for it's own good.
The cat was deeply hurt. It cared about it's owner's feelings. But couldn't take it anymore. It finally ran away through the open window.

Moral of story:
The Man didn't chose the cat. It was the cat that allowed itself to be owned, he could never have prevented it from leaving.... if it really wanted to.

And they lived happily ever after
